OJ0V qsl status Sep 21th

I've a small delay in treating the OJ0V qsl.   Due to a QRL-QTH move, almost all available time has been taken away the last days.

This is the status :
All direct QSL's received until Sep 10th have been sent.  Only one I station has to be handled.
All OQRS QSL's received until Jul 23th have been sent.  Only one UR station must be go out on Monday morning.
All buro QSL's introduced via Clublog until July 23th are transferred to the buro.

There are about 10 postal direct cards to be handled together with about 50 OQRS direct cards.  This will be done somewhere in the middle of this week.

About 10 direct cards doesn't have enough green stamps (they will be sent by the buro) or are not in the log (they will receive a answer on it).

European HF Championship 2013

I did a keyer/tx/ampli warm-up this weekend : 415 CW QSO's in 3,5 hours is almost 2 contacts per minute.

No special features, antenna down to 12m and only active on 20m and 15m.  Just for fun because I had other things to do with the kids... we were somewhere between the other indians looking at a soccer game.

So 3 funny contests in one weekend :
Saturday afternoon EU HFC : very nice rate in a nice relaxing contest
Saturday evening Soccer game : victory of our city-team
Sunday morning 10km run : first time under the 4:30min/km since 2005

OT1A gets DXCC Challenge plaque

Hurah !

The Challenge plaque arrived last week. 
I know, you have to buy it yourself, but it's a nice shack-wall-filler.

RUMlog for IPAD

I'm probably not the only one with this problem : you arrive at your shack, put the transceiver on and work one or more stations... without PC.  Then you have to look for a piece of paper, take some quick notes while afterwards the paper is gone, the time/band/mode isn't indicated etc...

I've had this a few times during big expeditions.   A very annoying feeling... that contact is made but some important info is missing or lost.

Now I found a solution for Ipad.  No waste of time while starting up a Windows environment,  just open the flap and ready.

I've downloaded RUMlog at it does what I want : quick access to the cluster, basic logging functions and easy export to adif.  Cost : only 5 €
